The majority of children living in the villages Kenya and Uganda do not have shoes and some are short of food. To make their situation worse, jiggers (sand fleas) has become a major challenge: the jiggers get onto people’s feet as they walk around, then lay eggs in their feet. As a result, many of them suffer from painful sores and infections.

CFLF is now cooperating with Step30 from Taiwan and collect shoes for the shoeless individuals so that they can live a life free from the threat of jiggers. Please donate any used or new pairs of shoes to these needy people so that they may WALK TO A BETTER FUTURE.

Esther Ho, Founder of Care For Life Foundation,and <Esther Ho Charity 10th Anniversary> Committee represent Care For Life Foundation presented the cheque NT$1,000,000 to representative of Step30 at their headquarter in Taiwan.

Treats foot problems caused by jiggers to aid in healing from infections.Jiggers (sand fleas) are a major problem in the villages of
Kenya and Uganda because very few people can afford shoes.
The jiggers get onto their feet as they walk around,
then lay eggs in their feet.
This results in painful sores and infections.
Early on, we tried to help by bringing in as many shoes
as we could carry in our suitcases, but there were still
many who were left without shoes. Then, in 2013, we raised
enough money to buy shoes for every kid at Hope Academy,
Nebki Village. We also took a nurse with us, who doctored
infected feet with a solution to kill the jiggers.
This treatment and thefootwear provided went a long
ways towards minimizing foot problems related to jiggers.
​Since then, our partner NGO, Step30, from Taiwan
has taken this project to a whole new level.
In the spring of 2014 they asked the people
of Taiwan for shoes to send to Kenya.
The response was overwhelming, and within 3 weeks
they had filled a shipping crate full of thousands
of pairs of new and used shoes.
The first container arrived in the fall of
2014 Since then, they have sent 15 sea can containers
full of shoes to Kenya. These shoes, donated by the people of Taiwan,
have been an incredible blessing to the forgotten peoples of Kenya.
